Will there ever be a sequel to Minecraft?

Been wondering this for awhile and never found any conversation on a possible Minecraft 2, think they'll ever make one or are they just gonna keep adding mod after mod to the original, seems rather pointless if that's the case since the popularity of the game is finally starting to die off.

What else could they do with it that wouldn't take away from what Minecraft was initially? I'd say themed stuff, but that would just take away from the create, explore, random stuff that it's known for.

a lot of things actually, better graphics, a deeper combat system than just whacking enemies "perhaps some combos" better, cooler blocks that you could do more with, different building structure options, i can actually think of tons of things they could add for a sequel.. i could give some detailed examples but i'd practically have to write a book to fully explain it, unfortunately i doubt it will ever happen either, i was just wondering what others thought of the idea.
